A new play by Margaret Wilkinson.

When Ruth, a psychiatric nurse, takes a job as a live-in carer in an isolated Northumberland house with her patient, Angel, and an elderly housekeeper, Eusapia, she is looking forward to an easy ride after her former employment in a busy hospital.

Soon though, the women are threatened by a figure lurking outside the house. Is it a figment of a hysterical woman’s imagination or a real intruder? Locked indoors together, the three women become increasingly suspicious of each other. Someone is not who she says she is. But who is to be trusted and who is to be feared?

All the doors have been bolted against the unknown, but inside the struggle goes on. Who will be Queen Bee?
